I am of two minds on the one hand it feels like you might be right. On the other hand if it helps us reduce the noise in searches it will be a huge leap forward
How low we have sunk that we'll accept a chatbot search result because it looks and sounds good even though the data is absolutely not the correct answer just because googs has ruined search with sole consideration being ads rather than the results
You would be the only one who has sunk. Ads on search results are not the problem, garbage web results are. SEO optimized trash that is designed to be at the top result of google for no reason. And having this be half of the first page of results for many popular searches leads people down a rabbit hole of appending "site:reddit.com" or using flags to hide entire words in search results. Having an AI to synthesize the most important parts of a search is a net positive to society, not a disadvantage.
